I go on a mother/daughter trip every year with my mom. We just did our trip the first week in November to Savannah, Georgia (my first time there). We stayed at the amazing Mansion on Forsythe Park hotel. Here’s the room, which was a delightful combination of traditional and modern with lacquered baroque furniture and chandeliers next to mirrored nightstands:
Here’s a piece of furniture from their dining area. LOVE this shiny orange lacquer! (though I know it’s not for everyone)
But enough about the decor. The real reason I’m writing is to confess that, though on almost every day of the year I am insanely organized, while traveling, I let it all hang out. I live like a pig. It’s funny because I spend so much time before a trip meticulously packing my bag, organizing every last piece of clothing and every last planned detail. But once I arrive at my destination, it’s like a “Get out of organized jail” FREE card. I leave piles of clothing and papers around the room. I don’t make the beds. I don’t even put the cap back on the toothpaste tube. It goes against everything I preach and everything I am, but there’s something ’bout being on vacation that makes me treat my hotel room like an 80s Glam Rock star. Perhaps it’s that I know it’s only for a few days. Or perhaps I am a closet sloppy person (doubtful).
Just wanted to share that confession with you and see if I’m the only one. Do you keep your hotel rooms ship shape when you travel?
